UFC Fight Night 11 Medical Suspensions Issued

The Nevada State Athletic Commission has issued a slew of medical suspensions following last night’s UFC Fight Night 11 event, which took place at The Palms Las Vegas and aired on Spike TV.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) received the paperwork directly from the NSAC.

Only one of the night’s nine fights went the full three rounds, and as a result, a small army of fighters — many who endured brutal knockouts and submissions — will need special clearance before returning to the Octagon.

The full list of suspensions includes:

Din Thomas (first-round loss via rear-naked choke to Kenny Florian): minimum suspension until Oct. 20 with no contact in training until Oct. 11. Additionally, Thomas will need to have an MRI of his right knee and receive clearance from an orthopedic doctor; otherwise, his suspension will run until March 18, 2008.

Junior Assuncao (first-round loss via guillotine choke to Nate Diaz): Suspended until Oct. 20 with no contact until Oct. 11. Assuncao must have his right foot X-rayed and cleared by a doctor; otherwise, his suspension will run until March 18, 2008.

Jonathan Goulet (first-round loss via verbal tapout to Dustin Hazelett): Suspended until Oct. 20 with no contact until Oct. 11. Goulet must have his elbow X-rayed and cleared by an orthopedic doctor; otherwise, his suspension will run until March 18, 2008.

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
